NC Tennis Foundation Awards
The NC Tennis Foundation offers a variety of awards to honor organizations and individuals who are having a positive impact on tennis in the state of North Carolina.
The award nomination process opens in June and remains open until the end of August each year. Awards are handed out at the Tennis Weekend Awards Luncheon held each January.
"The NC Tennis Foundation provides opportunities to participate in the sport of tennis to those that have been historically underserved, those that can truly benefit from it the most. Through its Scholarship program, countless youth have had the opportunity to go to Summer Camps, local clinics, and even College scholarships. The work of the Foundation makes Tennis a Sport for Everyone!"
